Lazarus Phillips/Elvira Robinett:NC>VA>MO

Lazarus Phillips. Born 1828 in NC, his parents were born in NC. He married Elvira Robinett b 1830 in VA and moved to Miller Co. MO in 1853.
I live in Miller Co. MO and have access to just about all of the
county records. Quite a few Phillips families lived in this area. I do
lookups if I have time.

I have done extensive research on the decendants of John Phillips who arrived in this country from Wales in about 1670. He settled in Richmond County, Virginia and the family stayed there for 3 generations then moved to Floyd County, Virginia. Parts of this family went to Oklahoma, Texas, Tenn. and Kentucky. I have about 2300 names on Family Tree Maker. Will be glad to exchange info with anyone

William H. Phillips,Thaddeus Lambert Phillips:VA>TN>IL>WA

My William H. Phillips was born Nov. 1824 in Charles City County, VA
and moved to Gallatin, Sumner Co, TN about 1842 with his brother
Thaddeus Lambert Phillips. Sometime between 1850 and 1860 Thaddeus
moved to Carlinville, Macoupin Co, IL. William stayed in Gallatin
until about 1890 when he moved to Nashville, TN., where he died before
the 1900 census. Thaddeus moved to Seattle, WA where he died about 1892.

David and Catharine Casper Phillips lived a short period ( circa 1891-1893)
in Shelby Co, IA where their son William Otterbein Phillips also lived.
Catharine died and was buried in the Defiant cemetery. Would like to
contact anyone who might have knowledge of this family.

Does anyone by any chance have any information
about CLAUDE PHILLIPE DE RICHBOURG who
apparently anglicized his name to Claude Phillips.
He was a French Huguenot who lived in SC and VA
around 1700? I am trying to find information on his
daughter Susanne Phillips Jones who married Robert
Coleman in SC or VA, again around 1700, and had
Lucy Coleman. Sorry this is all so vague, but this
is all the information I have right now...any help would
be greatly appreciated....THANKS! Virginia

I am looking for information on Sarah Phillips, born c. 1800, who
married Joel Tribble on March 6, 1823, in Oglethorpe Co., GA. One
of their children, Whitman A. (or H.) Tribble, born June 1837 in
Oglethorpe Co., is my great great grandfather.

Seeking information on Robert PHILLIPS (22 MAR 1827 Rockingham Co. VA - 25
JUN 1909 Warren County, OH).
He married Parmelia HESS around 1850, probably in Rockingham County as well.
Would appreciate any links or information anyone might have on this family.

John PHILLIPS' parentage is unknown but he likely was of the Phillips who early
settled in Orange county, North Carolina at an early date, and his line may
run back to Daniel Phillips of Currituck county of the same state. The
ancient Phillips ancestry runs back to Wales and apparently connects to early
English royalty. The aforementioned John Phillips was early in Person County,
North Carolina. His plantation was located on Aldridge Creek about one half
mile south of a Mt. Zion Methodist Church. This John married twice. His first
marriage was to NANCY CUPER on August 6, 1794. He later married SUSAN FARMER
on Feb. 18, 1811. He and a neighbor (LAWRENCE HARGIS) donated the land for
the Mt. Zion Methodist Church on Dec. 9, 1835. He died Oct. 15, 1836 and is
buried in a small family cemetary near the site of his old home. His last
wife lived on for several years and she is believed to be buried in the Mt.
Zion Cemetary. Some think he had a brother, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, in that area.

John Phillips/Malinda Lindley,Lutz,Locky,Penatzer:PA

Henry Norman PHILLIPS, his wife Mattie Martha, and some of their children
died in a fire at their home ca 1889. I have not been able to find
anything about the fire. Henry lived in the same home in Morris
Twp./Greene + Washington Cos. from the time of his birth (1849) until at
least 1887. I don't know if Henry + family were still in Morris Twp. at
the time of the fire.

Also, Henry's father, John PHILLIPS was Native American but I can find no
proof.

I am descendant from Robert Phillips of Lancaster Cty ,S.Carolina. b.
1786. They migrated to Monroe Cty, (Tellico Plains area,) Tennessee in the early
1800's. Originally, they entered our country thru Charleston So.Carolina,
before the Revolution. Story has it that at the time of the Revolution they
remained loyal to the King. Lemual Albert Phillips married Belle
Henson/Griffth of Lancster Cty So.Carolina. Lemual Albert bought land from
John Rogers of Monroe Cty ,Tennessee 6/4/1868. I have further information on
this line is any one is interested.

My great great grandmother's name was Alice Phillips. All we know is that
she was born in Farmington CT in 1846. She married my g-g- grandfather,
Eldred Mitchell, born 1832 in Cornwall England. They had three children,
Henry Charles Mitchell, Eldred Charles Mitchell, Jr., and Gordon Best
Mitchell.

Does anybody have any information on the Phillips family from LA? I'm a
relative of the Phillips. My grandmother was a Phillips. Here is a name
Madison Monroe Phillips, Jettie Grice Phillips, that is all the names that I
can recall for now.

1 Tobias Phillips b: January 12, 1686/87 in North Farnham Parish,
Richmond Va d: April 07, 1740 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Va
.+Hannah Goad b: February 11, 1694/95 in RICHMOND CO., VA. m: 1712 in
RICHMOND CO., VA. d: Aft 1739 in HENRY CO., VA
I am NOT a descendant of this particular Phillips/Goad couple or even of
this particular Phillips line. However, I am interested in information on
or from any descendants of this couple.
I am the list owner for the Goad surname list and I try to collect all of
the information that I can on descendants of any of the Goads with the
thought of being able to share it later with other researchers. There are
several very interconnected families associated with the Goad surname,
including PHILLIPS, Dodson, Cox/Cock/Cocks, and Nester.

This message is about a different family from my earlier message - there are a
lot of Phillips families in South Wales.

DAVID PHILLIPS married MARIA PRICE (where and when not found). They had a
daughter MARY born 3 October 1842 in Gellygroes, Mynyddyslwyn who married
LEMUEL CHARLES on 30 March 1867 in Penygam Baptist Chapel, Pontypool, South
Wales. She died on 30 December 1896 in Abercarn, Monmouthshire, South Wales.

I have a fair amount of information on the descendants of Lemuel and Mary
which I would be happy to share and would love to have any information/hints
about other descendants or about ancestors.

I am trying to find out some information about Levi Phillips in Georgia.
Merryweather county, I believe. I am a descendant of a Thomas whose father was
John H and someone once told me that his father was Levi. Does anyone know
about these people.

PA
To cover any new folks...I am looking for the Phillips family connections in
Bucks Co., Pa from the mid 18th c. to the late 19th c. starting with Thomas
(d. 1748, Solebury). Also looking for ancestors, but have, so far, been
unable to find any leads. Any help will be greatly appreciated

"One of our family's colorful characters was Jasper Phillips, born October
18, 1900 in Polk Co., AR is the son of James Marion Phillips from Walker Co.,
AL. His family moved into Sulphur Springs, OK., which was later named
Watson after statehood and a postoffice was built.

Jasper Phillips was a small man, only about 5 feet tall. The family said he
had some problems at birth and just didn't grow very much at a time and he
was always smaller than his age group of boys. When he was a child, he had
a pet gobbler that he could ride around the place. Now we all know that
gobbler's aren't small, especially if they're a pet 'cause we tend to feed
them more than the ordinary barn stock.

Jasper was a cowboy in the rodeo circuit and was known for drinking and
fighting even before he was 20. He was good friends with Jimmy Wakely
(later to be know for the western movies he played in). During a "Wild
West" show in Bethel Oklahoma in the 1920's, he and Jimmy were run out of
town. They had taken turns riding a horse until it had quit bucking and
since that was not the rules, the show had refused to pay them their
winnings, and also because they were then stuck with a broke horse instead
of a buckin' bronco. Jasper and Jimmy were so mad at the decision to not
pay them for the entertainment they had provided, that they shot up the camp
and burned the wagons before they left. They rode hard and fast to get
outta there and they made it all the way to New Mexico. They split up as a
team while in New Mexico and Jimmy Wakely went on to California and made
his career there still being a cowboy.

Jasper finally came back to Oklahoma years later and he died in a tractor
accident in the 1940's. I think he lived around Wayne, Oklahoma."

Im new to the list -- but here goes --- I'm looking for Etta (poss.
PHILLIPS), who married James Brien WALKER, ca- 1870, in Ky, Ill, or Tn.
They had a daughter, Willie Phillips Walker. According to James B.
WALKER's will, dated 28Dec1922, she was residing in Reves, Tn. No mention
of whether she had married. If any body sees a connection, I could sure use
it.

First of all, is there an index to the 1910 and/or 1920 Mineral County, WV
census?

Or does anyone of you have access to the 1910 and/or 1920 Mineral County, WV
census? If you do and are willing to do a lookup, I am trying to locate
information about David Phillips, b. 1826 in VA/WV and his wife, Mahala
(Anderson?) Phillips, b. 1824 in VA/WV.

In the 1900 Tucker County WV census they are shown at ages 73 and 75
respectively, residing with their daughter, Arthelia (Phillips) Phillips, w/o
James William Phillips. Also in the household are James and Arthelias
children: Lloyd J. Phillips, age 15; Eva C. Phillips, age 10; Lulu Melissa
Phillips, age 4; and Maudie G. Phillips, age 1.

When James Phillips died in 1925, he and Arthelia were residing in Keyser,
Mineral County. I believe that David and Mahala would have continued to
reside with Arthelia and James until their deaths. I am trying to narrow down
the time period of their deaths. James and Arthelia were not in Tucker
County in the 1920 census, so they apparently moved to Mineral County at some
time after 1900. Thus I would expect to find them (and consequently, her
parents) in the 1910 census if they were still alive.

Am seeking info on the paretns of P Jefferson Phillips born
1820-1826c, Place unknown. Knonw to have lived in the Benton, IL
area abt 1840. Married Mary Beaty, (1847) dtr of David Beaty.
served CO. F-40th IL Infantry in Civil War, Mustered in 1861..Killed battle
of Shilow, TN 1862.

Joseph PHILLIPS (b. unknown, rumored to have fought in BATTLE of KINGS MOUNTAIN, Revolutionary War;
there was a Joseph PHILLIPS who fought - not sure if this is correct Joseph PHILLIPS, d. either in
1787 KY near Barbourville (area became Logan County in 1793) or in Indiana.

I am searching for information on the parents and/or siblings of John W. S.
PHILLIPS, born in VA/WV 31 Dec. 1818, died 1 Aug 1865 in Tucker Co., WV.
John W. S. PHILLIPS married (date unknown) Mary Moore (her parents also
unknown). Their children include: Bethany/Bertha; Melvina Phillips (m.
Nathaniel Nestor/Nester); William B.; Richard K.; Leonard; Arnold; Sanford;
and Martha Jane.
Martha Jane Phillips married Silas James Fitzwater in 1875. They were my
great-grandparents.
They lived in the Barbour County and Tucker County areas of West Virginia.
I have seen undocumented information that John W. S. PHILLIPS is the son of
Eli H. Phillips and Mary Kittle, but don't have anything to verify this.

I am searching information on the ancestors, marriage dates, and children of:
David PHILLIPS - b. Oct. 1826 in VA, married (date unknown) to
Mahala (surname Unknown - possibly Anderson) - b. 1824.
Their known children include:
Tazewell - b. abt. 1848
Lucinda - b. abt 1849, died 1874. Lucinda Married to James William Phillips
abt. 1880-82 (first child born 1882). After Lucinda died, James William
married her sister, Arthelia (see below). Jacob - b. abt 1842
Martha Jane - b. 1860, married to Mr. ---- Harsh.
Arthelia - b. 1865
They possibly had three other children: Henry, Hanah, and David L. Phillips.
The counties of their births and the county of their marriage are unknown.
Their dates of death are also unknown, but it was after 1900. In 1900, they
were living in Tucker Co., WV with Arthelia and James William Phillips.
I will appreciate any information you may have.

I am searching for information on the ancestors of Marshall and Mary PHILLIPS
of West Virginia. Marshall Phillips is the father of James William Phillips,
who was born in 1855 in Randolph Co., WV. On James William Phillips' death
certificate (he died 1925 in McCoole, MD), his mother's maiden name is listed
as Mary Phillips (it is possible that Phillips is both her maiden name and
married name) and her birthplace as Barbour Co., VA.
Since James William was born in 1855, a good estimate for his parents'
birthdates is about 15-20 years earlier -- or from 1830-1835.
Don Norman's "Descendants of George Phillips" lists a Marshall Phillips, born
1838, as the son of Jesse Phillips and Margaret E. Kittle Phillips. However,
no county is listed.
At this time, I do now have access to a WV census. However, I have determined
that Marshall is NOT listed in Tucker County in 1860 or 1870; and is NOT
listed in Randolph county in 1850. I have not yet checked Barbour or any
other county.

I am searching for information on Moses PHILLIPS. He lived in Amherst Co.,
VA from at least 1829 to 1853. I have him as the bondsman for his daughter
Frances W. PHILLIPS' marriage to Jefferson Lee HILL on 29 Jan. 1829. He
was still in Amherst Co. in 1853 when he deeded a slave to Frances. I
would be very interested in information about his family (wife and other
children).

Seeking information on the following Phillips family: John Phillips was a member of the 2nd Regiment, Cherokee Mounted Rifles. John was the son of Elijah PHILLIPS, a white man who had been a planter among the Cherokees. He moved west with the Old Settlers of the Cherokee Tribe in 1829. Elijah lived with the Cherokees in the Hightower River area of the Cherokee Nation East in Georgia. He married Clarissa WRIGHT who was born on October 25, 1803. She was the daughter of Jack and Jennie (CRITTENDEN) WRIGHT. John is the only son of Elijah that I know of. John PHILLIPS married Sarah CRITTENDEN, the daughter of William and Melinda (HOUSE) CRITTENDEN. John PHILLIPS died near the end of the War Between the
States and the cause of death is unknown. Sarah (CRITTENDEN) PHILLIPS then married a man named John PIERCE. Sarah was also known as Sallie. John and Sarah (CRITTENDEN) PHILLIPS had at least five children two sons, James and Moses; three daughters, Frances born April 11, 1846 in Westville, Cherokee
Nation West, Indian Territory and two others whose names I do not know. I would like to know if anyone has further information on Elija PHILLIPS, John PHILLIPS and his children. Would especially like to know who the other two daughters are. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I can place my family origins as far back as Quebec, possibly England. The furthest back I go is James Phillips who married Jane McLeod. James was born in England approximately 1831 and died in Quebec Nov. 1, 1917. Jane was born in Scotland June 17, 1835 and died April 23, 1909 in either Quebec or Ontario, not sure. James and Jane Phillipd had eight children, John S., William, Jane, Margaret, James, Effie, Alexander
(Sandy) Mcleod Phillips, and David Phillips. Our families owned farming land (five farms?) in Ontario around Ottawa. It has been said that our original Phillips ancestor in the North American continent came to Canada with the Duke of Richmond (Charles Gordon Lennox) in 1818. The poor Duke died the following year of Rabies after being bitten by his pet fox. I have a cousin that has researched the Ottawa/Ontario archives and has identified so much detail that she can even list the crops our family raised and the number and type of livestock they owned.
If you have run across any Phillips lines that might be associated with my family I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Also, if you know of any good sources on the Web that could aid me in my search, it
would also be great to hear from you. I also am researching the other families, McLeod and Steele who originated from Dumfrieshire, Scotland, Black and Leslie from County York, Ireland. We also have Storr, Boyce, and Carter, but those will be some time down the road. Everything I have goes as far back as the 1820's.
